Loud Thinking

An Open Letter to Mr. Asif Ali Zardari

AoA.

The people of Sindh in particular and other countrymen in general, highly appreciated your decision about 13 months ago, when in February 2013, the Sindh provincial assembly passed the legislation, for providing free and compulsory education and school uniforms, to a fixed percentage of the poor kids, in the vicinity of all the private schools in Sindh.

However, till to date, not a SINGLE poor child was allowed this facility of free education for poor children living in the vicinity of private schools, which is really a pathetic state of affairs.

Hope this was not a pre-election gimmick? Kindly order implementation of this great public service idea, which is already enshrined in the constitution, but sadly is a law ONLY in the Sindh province, whereas, rest of the provinces of the country have not even made it a law.

Last but not the least, in India all private schools as per law, are already providing (equal to the 20% of the enrolled students) free education and free school uniforms to the poor children, residing in their vicinity.

But here in Pakistan, who cares for the education of the poor kids, when not a soul moved on the death of the hundreds of poor children from measles, other diseases, hunger and drought.

Best Regards.

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
